Ashes to Ashes

I had already spotted the work of the collective « Dutch Invertuals » last year at the Designer’s Day in Paris. But I am particularly touched by the poetry of their new achievements in particular that of Edhv.

For this years edition of Dutch Invertuals with the theme of fragility, Edhv created a poster that becomes an event by it’s self. The poster consists of text or image printed on blotter paper. When lit the poster starts glowing and burning until there is almost nothing left. What remains is an ash image so fragile that one breath can destroy it.
